The CONTAM Results Viewer, ContamRV, is a tool for visualizing contaminant concentration results of CONTAM simulations. ContamRV works with CONTAM project file formats beginning with version 2.0. ContamRV displays buildings in SketchPad form very similar to the manner in which ContamW does. The program provides you with a color-coded display of zone contaminant concentrations, enables the animation of transient simulation results and displays zone concentrations in numerical format. A whole-building view is provided along with the ability to select individual levels of a project for detailed review.

Zones are colored depending on their contaminant concentrations according to two user-selectable coloring options: single gradient range and multiple color ranges. The single gradient range option colors all zones different shades of a single color and the multiple color ranges options provides the ability to create up to six different concentration ranges each having an individual color associated with it. Numerical display options include the creation of lists of zones as well as simple highlighting of zones to display the current concentration.

Version 2.4 adds support for CONTAM 2.4 including increased number of building components and 1D zone visualization.

ContamRV has been updated to be compatible with CONTAM 2.4b and also adds ths ability to view pressure differences, densities and temperature results in zones.
